Unexpectedly, I visit Romania again, owing to visa issue for Iceland. Few days I talked with one Taiwanese in hostel in Barcelona. Somehow we started to talk about visa issue, it made me realize that I have no enough time to stay in Schengen area till the date I leave from Iceland, but I booked the fly in and fly out tickets already! That is why I'm in Romania again, and gonna stay 2 weeks then fly to Netherlands transferring to Iceland. It's crazy that I have 5 flight in these few weeks...

"Spain> Romania> Netherlands> Iceland> U.S.A> Peru"

......It would be the time that I fly most in my life probably.

My flight was from Valencia to Cluj-Napoca around 3 hours in the sky, arriving Cluj at 13:30 something. Owing to Taiwanese passport, I need to wait a bit longer to pass the custom, due to the political issue with China, Romanian custom won't stamp on my passport but on an extra paper, even though, I didn't have any problem there, just few simple questions and wait outside of immigrate office for a while. Most of Romanian are really kind and make me feel welcome.

I totally stay in Cluj-Napoca for 4 nights with my host from Couchsurfing. Claudia is really interesting person, she is trying to build own business, teach Romanian to foreigners and just start to do internship in company. So...She is kind of busy almost everyday, though, no much time to spend together, we did have fun. One night we went out to have a drink in local bar and roamed around city by jumping and a lot of laugh, thanks god we didn't get any fine from police. (It happened to Claudia one time at home while watching comedy movie, owing to laughing too loud!) Really impressive night to me, we also find out many common things in us. Hope I can visit her again soon.

Both of Claudia and information office recommend me to visit Salt mine - Salina Turda. Really beautiful place over my expectation! Especially, the grain of the salt mine is just stunning. One of my friend said "It should be a piece of some exhibition of conceptual art." That's why I rooted in front this art from nature. Keeping exploring this mine, I found out something really interesting. There are couple table-tennis tables and mini-golf inside!! also a lake there that visitors can rent a boat to play around. It's my first time in salt mine, very interesting to me!

“What makes us the most normal," said Reiko, "is knowing that we're not normal.”"you shouldn't trust anybody who calls himself an ordinary man?"“Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.”

- Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Norwegian Wood the book I have known for a long long time, but hadn't read it. When in junior, it was one of very popular novel in Taiwan in my age. A lot of teenagers read it for being the one who looking literary, it was not my way, so I had no motivation to read it. To be honest, I had totally misunderstanding about this book. Somehow I read it from last week and finished it today, "Norwegian Wood" is really literary, the meaning is profound and hard to understand in my opinion. need to have more experience in life to understand it, especially, I was totally no idea about love in teenage period. I feel I'm kind of similar with the main character Toru Watanabe, like to enjoy own time, but not really like to let people know me deeply, it was me. Now a bit changed, I wanna know people deeply, but don't know how to do and don't know how to open deeper mind. I'm the person less words most of time. I like social sometimes, just not get used to it sometimes, and need time to be comfortable with. It make me feel not ordinary...at the same time, I start to wonder what is "ordinary"?

Ordinary is a tricky word..."not unusual or different in any way". In my country, somehow unusual is sort of negative. When someone start to be unusual, people will comments and judge a lot giving unusual one plenty of stress. It stop a lot of people to be unusual, and trying to be same as everyone...it's sad, we lose a lot of chances and creativity owing to this conservative mind.

I believe only if someone do crazy things, this world could be changed.

Kotor might be the most gorgeous part of Adriatic Sea, beautiful town in the terminal of fjord. The history date back to 168 BC, there Roman Era. The first fortress built in Middle Age by Justinian I, in the list of UNESCO. It's the terminal of the fjord, the sea is more peaceful than usual.

The old town is not big, but somehow with good vibe, it was kind of low season not so many tourists on street. There are some hidden places to walk around, one wall really surprised me, I was walking along the city wall and got on a stair, it was there on the side seems abandoned ruin, not obvious...but I noticed it.

The seaside usually is almost still as mirror, and really clear to see fishes and rock under waters. In the morning, there is stream on the surface of the sea, especially, the day I left from there early morning, a lot of stream! I even doubt was I on the high mountain or something, looks like the sea of clouds. Unfortunately, I was on bus cannot get off to take photos, I start to miss this view! It might be the most impressive view I have ever seen so far.

The BEST PART of Kotor is the trial to the fortress on hill. It provide amazing view of town and fjord, and the ruin is going up along to the top of hill, really good place for photography. It's not too long way, 1 hour walk to the toppest point, nice place for picnic with stunning view!

Next time I wanna come back here for sure to explore around this fjord and stay more longer! Maybe the cruise also~

It was not a good time to visit Macedonia, almost whole week in rain...my shoes were never dry for 7 days!

Nis is my last stop in Serbia. I took the bus to Skopje in the morning, there were two japanese ladies thought I'm Japanese owing to omamori(Japanese amulet) on my backpack. Really weird thing happened when passing border, I don't get any stamp!! Both exit stamp for Serbia and entry stamp for Macedonia neither. The bus was driving away from check-point, I was worried about getting trouble when leaving this country, I asked the other japanese ladies if they have it, they don't have its as well. It's first time I have no stamp anywhere, later I checked on internet, it looks common in Yugoslavia countries that no stamps, they even don't scan passport sometimes, just pretend taking you out for a while.

Skopje is small but beautiful city, a lot of fabulous architecture and statues in old town area, and the castle on the hill provide really good panoramic view and also historical Turkish area(Occupied by Ottoman for a lot time). At night, the view is much better than day time, the light shoot on the building and statues with excellent vibe. It is worth to be mentioned that Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, there are one her museum here.

Though, almost raining everyday when I was in Skopje, somehow the fourth day was sunny! I decided to head to one of most popular nature sightseeing to locals - Matka Canyon. Taking bus from centre to there around 40 mins, dropping off the way to reservoir, there is a trail behind it! Walking along on the side of cliff is really gorgeous. Initially, the path is quiet easy....but it become narrow and narrow and bush grow into trail with flowing time, one place also need to climb over a rock, sometimes it's a bit scary owing to cliff on my left side. I believe I almost finished 2/3 trail but consider about time about sunset, I decided to return. It spent me around 4 hours for hiking, really worth to visit here. Very impressive views!

Ohrid was my next time after Skopje, the way to Ohrid passed couple really long mountain road was really foggy, the visual range was less than 15 meters, but our driver still drive really fast, also passed some cars, really brave...even I had a lot of experience of travel, feeling a bit worried at that moment. Finally, we arrived destination safely.

Ohrid is a town beside Lake Ohrid really huge one, also mountains around. There is one beautiful church on the lake side isolated away from everything, one side is cliff another is hill, approaching from hill side, the mountains and lake are background of church, impressive view in my memory, and there is another big monastery has really interesting roof around 10 mins walk from church. The fortress on the top of hill, first day I arrived too late, it was almost close, second time I just skip it, I 'm a bit tired of castle for a while...aesthetic fatigue somehow.

Staying in Ohrid for two nights, next day taking the shared taxi(same price with bus) to bus terminal in Struga. Trying to catch the bus to Albania at 9:30, though, it came around 10:30. really common happen in Macedonia. Fortunately, I met one American, one Macedonian and one Austrian, we all take same bus and had really good conversation, it was not too boring in waiting time.

To Taiwanese passport, there are 4 countries we need visa - Serbia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. All of them need to prepare a bunch of documents and charge really high fee for visa!! Fortunately, I got U.S.A visa in Africa in advance, it is possible to entry Serbia with visa free by U.S.A visa . (U.S.A visa is very useful!! for ppl whose passport is not so powerful)

I decided to head to Serbia from Timisoara, Romania. There are 2 trains per day from Timisoara to Belgrade( Transfer 1 time in Vrsac, Serbia side). The departure time is not so good, so I chose the minibus( Operated by Geatour) charged €20, door to door service. No big bus no timetable. In early morning, saying good-bye to lovely host from couchsurfing, I was still hesitant should I visit bigar waterfall or not. After small struggling, I decided to head to Serbia, the first train was already gone, next train departure around sunset, don't like to arrive somewhere at night, so I visited information office to ask for helping call minibus company to organize ride for me. The minibus came around 12:00 in city centre, quite nice and cozy car. It spent around 2hrs to border, the Romania side is very simple and fast, the Serbia side, unfortunately, I got stuck around half hour, because the stuff in border they don't really know that ppl can entry by U.S.A visa and they didn't really speak English, Serbian passenger helped me translate and show up the page I printed from Serbian foreign affair, so on they took my passport to office and disappear...so sorry to other passengers that they waited for me. In half hour, my green passport came back me! The minibus had a short break in the first petrol station after border. Then it's another 1.5hrs to Belgrade.

In Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia, Belgrade is my favorite capital in these three country, very ancient city that full of history. There ware ppl living this place already 7000 years ago approximately! I really like the fortress in city, I saw unforgettable sunset on it, and really enjoy the atmosphere in city, not so busy step, ppl more relax. The second biggest orthodox church is also located here, unfortunately, it's under construction inside...It's hard to describe why I love this city more...maybe vibe is the crux.

Romania was a country I didn’t know what they looks like, as most of people, the only thing I knew the story to Vampire Dracula is from there, but that’s not only what Romania have. Actually, Romania is full of landscapes, castles, orthodox churches and Monasteries, everything is worth to visit, plus quiet from crowded tourists.

Maramureș (in Romanian pronounced [maraˈmureʃ]) is one of region not so popular for foreign people, but have the most beautiful and impressive traditions of historical Romania. People who lives here save a lot of their traditions, such as ceremonies, clothes, architecture and life style, isolated from other parts of countries. Part of Maramureș is in Romania, another part in Romania, I only visited Romanian part this time.

My first stop is in the capital of Maramureș county - Baia Mare. Before visiting here, I had no idea and plan where I can explor in this region, so decided to do couchsurfing to get some information first. My host is a couple - Dani and Flavia, it would be my best experience in couchsurfing, they are really kind, talkative and flexible. They share foods to me also made some traditional food, and I made some food for eating together as well, but unfortunately, I couldn't find chinese spices in this city...so just made some easy cuisine. Dani is a travel guide in this region, so also provided a lot of information to me, very helpful to know what would I see in Maramureș.

First few days I was with other surfers(Norwegian and Argentine) to do day-trips from Baia Mare everyday, the Argentine guy is doing hitchhiking journey for half year so far, he said it's very easy to hitchhiking in Romania, so.....we did it everyday!! I was really surprised even three people is easy to do it. Sometimes drivers cannot speak english, but can understand some spanish, so most of time argentine guy talked more with them. I feel Spanish is more important from this moment. The way from Baia Mare to central Maramureș was really curvy but amazing view, drving in woods the colors of trees are consist of red, yellows and green, just fabulous!

​First day we visited communist museum, not very big building, but full of documents about USSR, quiet interesting place if interested in history about USSR, I spent almost whole afternoon there, it was too many infos suddenly actually.

Second day heading to one of most famous place in Maramureș - Merry Cemetery, this place is very different with other cemetery in the world. First, all tombs are blue, symbolizing the sky that people raise after passing away; second, all have drawing on its and description about this person's life - usually with black humor. It make this cemetery different with others.

Next day I decided to stay in villages rather than return Baia Mare, because I am really sick of that curvy mountain road! The first ride of hitchhiking was very kind couple they married 3 months ago, looks really young, they said they just went to register not have a wedding owing no enough budget now, they will have it after earning more budget. The girl said" Wedding is not the most important thing, right person is much important", I totally agree. They looks very happy to be together, I think it's everything already. On the way they drove me to their house to show me around. The house was over 100 years since grandparents generation, outside look really simple, but inside impress me a lot! All stuff were made by their grandma, really beautiful. They insisted on giving me one towel for decoration, I was totally stunning for a while, they gave it to a guy just met half hour and might never see again, it make me feel they might not have a lot of money, but richest couple in the world. Girl also showed me traditional clothes in ​Maramureș, she really wanna let me take pics when she wear it, but unfortunately, she is still painful from the surgery to appendicitis. Such lovely couple, best begin to my hitchhiking in Romania.

After second ride, I reached the Monastery in Barsana. One of three most beautiful monasteries in this region. It locate in upper hill, best place to overlook whole village. First wooden church I visit! Very special and interesting to me, also have big garden and small cemetery

Time was almost 4 o'clock, should head to Breb the village I stayed for night, it was longest waiting I had in Maramureș around 40mins, still fine. A trunk driver gave me a ride, it probably first time I sit on trunk, driver could not speak english but kept giving me pears and asking me to eat it. Original plan, he won't pass Breb, but I didn't know due to language obstacle, I just realized he did it for me in the end! The way to Breb was gorgeous, especially, trunk is really high, have better view on hill, driver was really lovely, every time I took me camera out from backpack, he always stopped for me to take pictures, even I said it's fine keep going.

After good sleep and breakfast in Guesthouse in Breb, I walked around village and visited famous Wood carver - Petru Pop and Master of sewing - Belea Maria, they had a lot of awesome work. Then I start to walked toward Budesti around 4kms, yesterday was on this road by trunk, today I want by foot. The landscapes are just fascinating, really enjoyed the walk, I walked as slow as possible, and hope this time will never end.

Getting first ride at the day in Sarbi, my destination was Monastery in Moisei, I changed 4 rides to reach there, Monastery is a bit far from main road, I reached around 5pm, they said I can stay there one night there, it was so cool to stay in monastery, first time! I joined their ceremony at night, though, totally don't understand what were they talking about, but I am always interested in religious ceremonies, so it's quite fun...the only bad thing was I didn't have enough clothes for standing in front of door, very freezing! Maybe Asian is very unusual in this region, especially, in monastery. so a lot of people kept having glances on me, I felt I was pagan, because everyone is so faithful here.

Morning in Monastery was really cold, this day I planned to go to hiking, such a long walk, so I need to wake up earlier. The trekking is kind of interesting, there are so many junction but without sighs, didn't know which road is right one many times, somehow, my off-line map has one route in this mountain, so I located my position and followed it couple times, the last 1/3 part of route is incredible. See colorful mountain and a lot of colors around town, and some small house on the way. I didn't meet any other hiker on the way, probably I was the only tourist in this mountain.

Another interesting hitchhiking experience happened on the way to Sighetu, a ride from Viseu De Sus to Barsana. An unique car stopped for me! there is a special decoration on it! This couple they just married last week, doing honey moon around Romania now. They gave me all the cakes, pancakes and Pepsi, the girl was very exciting, waving her hand when car passed by everyone. The honey moon is two weeks, the day was third day to them, it would be the sweetest time in life.

​The last day in Maramureș, I had a walk from Budesti to Desesti around 15kms totally. I heard people wear clothes on Sunday frequently, but I don't know why I didn't see any...Dani tell me might be all in church, I thought they do it outside also, so skipped churches in every villages. It was a big mistake also biggest sadness in this region...didn't see anyone really wear traditional clothes, only special hats on men. I am thinking to come back for Christmas actually, they will wear traditional clothes to celebrate for few days, it would be very cool experience to join it.

19th October, It's my 4th birthday have had oversea continually. Two years in Australia, one year in New Zealand, and now in Romania. I didn't really celebrate it for a long time, usually just eat better and try to have a relax day, not telling everyone in hostel. I would like to enjoy time with friends, not just people I don't know yet, that's why.

In early morning, woke up with fresh brain. Made myself presentable and had a simple breakfast. Train station is 3kms away from hostel, would be a nice exercise in the morning, but it was a bit late, the next train departure in 45 mins at 9:30am...a bit rush. I did speedy walk, how amazing I reach it in 30mins! Queued up for buying tickets, somewhere the old woman beyond me don't know why spent such a long time, and I didn't have much time, it made me anxious a little. Finally, I had ticket in last 5 mins! 17.5 Lei, not cheap actually...I heard it's easy to hitchhiking in Romania, but not in the mood today...

The train took 1 hrs from Brasov to Sinaia. I got off the station that one stop before Sinaia, I didn't see any sigh in the beginning, so started to doubt is it here? I run into one guy looks like head of the station, "Is it Sinaia?" " Nooo, it's next stop!" At the moment, the bell of train was ringing out. Damn it, I cannot miss it! "Run!!!!" Head of the station said. Thanks god, the second I got on the train, it moved, otherwise, I need to wait 2 hrs for next one! The first attraction I visit was Casino Sinaia, located in one beautiful park!

Passing the path in the small forest, Sinaia Monastery came into my eyes. There is one new church and old church. So many beautiful design on this church. Outside look is different with other orthodox church; old church is based stone, much older and historical.

Before going to Peles Castle, I headed to centre of village to have dinner. Pork Schnitzel , salads and chips is 11 Lei and a piece of pizza is 3.9Lei, pretty cheap here! I found a chair under the tree to enjoy my meal, it was really relax time. After lunch, followed the road up to the mountain, around 20mins, there is cross to go down, a lot of beautiful trees with yellow and green colors on the street side, very beautiful path to Peles Castle.​ It might be the most famous attraction in Sinaia, also my favorite castle have ever been. Unfortunately, Castle is in maintenance now, not allow to visit inside, only can walk around the garden but I still really enjoy it. Very unique and impressive castle! Not really old castle though, It built in 1873 and complete in 1914, around 100 years so far.

Originally, I planed to fo hitching back to Brasov, but don't know why didn't wanna do it at the moment, so I paid another 17.5 Lei back to Brasov. Very lovely and quiet birthday, even it's nothing special, but I really enjoyed it. Plus I feel I have more inspiration to photography after this bday, so strange....but it's a good thing! haha~

I have had this feeling when my travel went into the second month. When traveling more than a month or even two months, it's not like holidays anymore...as living. Does native nomad have same feeling? My travel speed have became slower and slower. deeper and deeper...Sometimes even just stay somewhere do nothing as a rest. I think long-term travel is not as beautiful as most of people think, many people think it's kind of romance, but I prefer to say it's a practicing to own life. Of course, people see the good parts of its, but there are some stories behind it that we don't wanna say too much...because travelers we believe the good parts of exploring the world even ourselves are worth it and our motivations also.

Victoria Falls is one of my dream destination in Africa. There are three most famous waterall in the world: Niagara Falls (U.S.A& Canada), Angel Falls (Venezuela), Victoria Falls (Zambia& Zimbabwe). I have been in Niagara Fall when I was a kid, and now...I'm in Victoria Falls!!! Victoria Fall, also called "Mosi-oa-Tunya"(Tonga: The smoke that Thunders), It's not the tallest waterfall or widest falls but probably the largest one in the world. David Livingston is believed the first European saw this waterfalls around 160 years ago, he named Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria. And for memorial, people named the town near falls after Livingstone in Zambia.

In December to March, it's raining season in Victoria Falls, all the cliffs are covered by waterfalls, and all the valley full of smoke of water, owing to water run into river powerfully. Unfortunately, It's October now, the driest season every year. But some people come in dry season to visit Devil's pool, the toppest point of main falls, when the water level is lower, it become as a natural pool, people allow to swim inside( Part of), but need to have a guild. Some tourists join the tour from travel agency charged almost USD100, but I met a guy told me it's possible to go to the entry of National Park straight away, tell them I wanna visit Devil's Pool, then they will give u a guild charged around USD 65, it's much cheaper. As a tight budget backpacker, I really have no extra money to do this activity. This time I would only have a walk in National Park to see waterfalls. Hostels here are having free transportation to Victoria Fall every morning, I took it for sure, but first day was really bizarre experience. The shuttle was a private car in the hostel I stayed, one japanese, one Dutch couple and me, 4 people and driver in the car. In 3 mins drive, while passing the city centre, the cabs stop our car...the driver got off car to talk with cabs, left us in car. In few mins, one cab came to us said "This is not taxi, getting off car, we will call another taxi for you". "This is free shuttle organized by our hostel, what's the problem?" I said. The cab just kept saying this is not taxi, asked us to take another taxi. But no way!!! Why we need to pay for taxi rather than free shuttle, plus I have no idea why can't we take taxi if not official taxi, plus private taxi is really common in Zambia. After 10 mins meaningless talk, the driver fixed the problem finally. In the end, I saw he paid police some money, and came back car, he said it's common here. Polices drive around the town to stop cars on the street and try to give them troubles except u pay them some money, then they will let u go in next second. We saw the police stopped another car in next min, might do it until tired. Finally, we can go to Victoria Falls....I thought, unfortunately, another police stopped us in next 5 mins again. OMG...how many times we need to stop on the way, only 11kms from hostel to Falls! More complicated situation, our driver was off from car again, because his driver licence was impounded by first police 5 mins ago. 10 mins waiting, the police jump into our car told us" You driver will go to police office now, so I drive you to Victoria Fall." What the strange situation, pretty weird feeling when police was driver...anyway...

Finally, we arrived the entry of Victoria Fall, we headed to the bridge between border, because my Japanese friend will do Bumgee jumping here. He paid USD160 for one jump, before jumping there are tw0 photographer and one videographer for you. They asked some classical questions like "What's your feeling now?" "Do you wanna say something to your friends or family?" Then 5...4...3...2...1...Jump!!!Everything happened in few seconds. I also see some people swing, looks like more exciting! After getting certificate of jumping, we headed back to National Park in Zambia side, the entry fee is USD20. There are few trials here, all less than 1 kms, so it was pretty easy, we spent around 2.5 hrs to finished all routes. In Zambia side, only can see two small waterfalls at this moment...only the main falls looks like still huge but just can see far away. I heard in Zimbabwe side it's much better view in dry season. But my passport cannot get arrival visa between two country, it could be very complicated to me...no time to fix this situation this time, so I gave up. Their is a trekking can reach the river, really good place for relax! I sit on the rock and put feet into river, just enjoy the sounds of water, breeze between trees and deep breathe the fresh air in valley...I don't think I need more than it.

The only thing I felt sad is not going to see main falls!! I decide next time I will start to travel from South Africa and the country around, and do the visas first, then I can see Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe side and Zambia side together, and in raining season, the real water thunders!!! Now...it's the time to explore Balkan Peninsula. Istanbul I'm coming again!!

After getting U.S.A visa and Zambian entry permit, I can head to Zambia finally. The way to get Zambian visa was really involving, I met a lot of Taiwanese and Chinese gave up owing the change of visa policy. But I really wanna see Victoria Falls in real, and don't know when will I come back next time, so engaged in it! The hardest thing is finding someone in Lusaka to help me send application...and then the person need to provide Copy of ID card+bank statement+ Certificate of employment...etc. I have no idea why Zambian government make things so complicated to Taiwanese...two months ago, we can apply visa in embassy in Dar es salaam and get it next day, but everything changed now... I really glad I found Jonathan helped me get visa permit, he was busy but still try to help me, I don't know how to show how I appreciated for his favor. The consular in embassy told me I can get visa on border immediately, so I planned to take the train to Zambia, it would be more fun! The time to wait for train was a tragedy...Departure time on ticket is 13:15 pm, I arrived 11:00 for avoiding traffic, but the train delayed for 6 hrs!!! departure around 19:15 in the end...

​The room on train is fine, with ok bed and quilts without pillow, but not a problem to me. The best thing is the restaurant, I thought it wouldhad not be expensive on train, but it is not!! 3,500TZS per meal! Cheap and good taste~ Same cuisine would charge double price in Dar es salaam. It's first time I sit in the restaurant on train, really interesting feeling. Chicken, beef, fishes, chips, rice even ugali all in the menu. Restaurant is not the only way to get food on train, when train stop in some villages or towns, there are always ppl sale beverage, fruit and food via windows, and also cheaper than city. For example, I paid 1,000 shilling for Banana, in Dar es salaam only can have 5 pieces, but in small village I got 20 pieces!!! When I sit beside the window and stared at views outside, it's a magical feeling, peaceful and calm, as watching a slow forward movie. Every time passed village, kids always waved their hands to me even tried to be more closer to train, they looks like much happier than people in city even people in developed countries, they are easy to satisfy not much desire. There was a village, kids collect the empty bottles to make toys, like cars or airplanes. In my parents generation, they also did its in childhood, simple. Sometimes I wanted this trip can be more longer; sometimes I wanted we can arrive asap, such dilemma.

In the second morning, the train reached the border. In Tanzania side was simple, someone brought departure stamp and visited rooms to stamp all passports, but in Zambia side I got stuck...The custom stuff check my passport and permit then calling someone...probably asked his boss. After end the phone, he told me " U need to go to immigration office with me, then taking bus to Lusaka late, not with train." I was stunning...WTH. I started to negotiate with him, I bought the whole trip train ticket, because your embassy told me I can get visa IMMEDIATELY on border. Looks like he don't even wanna talk, just said" Take all of ur stuff and go with me to office later." He insisted. What can I do...took both my backpacks reluctantly and got of the train. The office was not far away, but I stayed t here for 2 hours! They said they wanna check my permit is true or not, so need to wait for Lusaka office to reply. They just left me in the waiting room, no food no drink no talk...just kept waiting. After 2hrs waiting, they agreed to give me visa finally. but I need to pay the bus ticket by myself, they will not help. Even it's shit happen, but it's fine, at least, I can see Victoria Fall soon. But the worst thing was...they introduced one broker, I thought he is worker in office, so it would be fine. But I was wrong...He helped me buy bus ticket with higher price, 25% more than normal price! I think he got commission...I can't believe how can this custom did it to me, I waste my money for train and time already, then introduced one dishonest broker to me!!! It probably the worst happen in Africa to me. It's a lesson, in some countries, even government stuff cannot believe easily!
